But it still amazes me that in this day and age an MMO could launch without PvP or a casual end-game for this length of time. I know WoW didn't immediately launch with PvP... 9 years ago, but that was 9 years ago.

It's kind of astounding. Or that they think this endless grind end-game is a substitute for actual raids.

even single player games don't release finished these days and often you have to pay extra to get an actually 'worthwhile' game (and in other cases the DLC is 10€ and gives you 20 minutes actual playtime. I'm looking at you, Fable III)

the good old 'in this day and age' argument is frankly even more annoying than the general 'oh boohoo there's nothing to do' whining that really just means 'there's nothing to do I like. developers need to cater to my specific needs because I'm more important'

ps: I can't wait for people to be disappointed by TESO, then glorifying Wildstar like there's no tomorrow, eventually putting all their hope into EQN and then move on to the next big thing.
(is ArchAge still going on? I feel another Spellborn coming... I miss Spellborn :/)
